Iguana Scare You

Today has been a relaxing day here at the Aventura Spa Palace Resort. A wonderful breakfast buffet followed by pool time which included an invigorating session of water aerobics.

The weather has included lots of time with sunshine yet still somewhat cloudy. A couple of times it looked like rain. There is a 30% chance for rain showers for each of the next several days. Around 2:00 we did hear several bouts of thunder and could see lightening out over the waters off in the gulf.

One of the things about this resort that I hope to explore more is the wildlife which lives on the property. As we arrived yesterday, I noticed a sign indicating some iguanas and a couple of varieties of monkeys. While walking the main grounds and along the coastal rocks I have seen almost a dozen iguanas so far. Sometimes you just stumble upon one popping its head out from the hole it's burrowed under the side of a sidewalk. It can startle you!!!! I hope to take one of the nature walks later and maybe see some of these alleged monkeys.
